Our kid used to sneak into the living room and watch tv at night. I cut

the power chord and put in a connector and took the "pig tail" to bed

with me.

I don't really want to shut down the router, although I have used the

shut off during certain hours but he was able to get around it somehow.

He changed his IP address.

I would really like to slow it down to the point of frustration. That

is my goal.

Thanks,

Jeff
